ShowUsYourType is an international poster design competition aimed at creating promotional posters for selected cities. I designed a poster for Mexico City, showcasing its vibrant culture through the depiction of a traditional Mexican dancer. The dancer was illustrated in Adobe Illustrator, and I assembled the poster using Photoshop. I was honored to be among the few winners of this contest.

Client Work
Created an elegant menu for Hwaro Korean Restaurant, utilizing a straightforward color palette and typography to enhance user experience. The illustrations were hand-drawn in Photoshop, and the overall menu design was assembled using Photoshop for a polished finish.
"Home;Run" Book Cover
I created a book cover inspired by the music video "Home;run" by the K-pop group Seventeen. My goal was to encapsulate the aesthetic and mood the video while also conveying the narrative of a diamond theft depicted within it.
"We Boom" Book Cover
I created a book cover that draws inspiration from NCT Dream's "We Boom" album and its music video. The "B" featured on the cover is composed of various objects seen throughout the music video.

Typography Dictionary
Book
This project was developed in InDesign and serves as a dictionary for typography terms. Each spread is uniquely designed around a specific word, with the intention of ensuring that no two pages look. Some spreads include hand-drawn images that were scanned and converted into vector graphics.

A logo was developed for the College of San Mateo's centennial celebration. The design is intentionally simple to facilitate resizing for various promotional materials. It includes the institution's colors of blue, yellow, and white, and prominently features "CSM" to represent the College of San Mateo, alongside a laurel wreath symbolizing the achievement of 100 years.
